Core Insights - The article highlights the growing trend of financing in the bio-based chemicals and materials sector, with 25 disclosed financing events in the first half of 2025, indicating a robust interest in sustainable solutions [1][4]. Financing Overview - Most companies involved in bio-based financing are in early funding stages (A round and earlier), focusing on market expansion or initial scaling. Notably, 聚维元创 secured a Pre-B4 round financing of several tens of millions in April 2025, raising nearly 500 million in total funding in 2024 [4]. - Geographically, companies are primarily located in new first-tier and second-tier cities such as 南京, 苏州, 杭州, and 天津, with a notable emphasis on local raw material sourcing and cost-effective locations [4]. Sector Analysis Green Packaging Materials - Green packaging is a key focus area, with companies like 中科国生 and 森奇新材 involved in developing bio-based materials such as PLA, PHA, and PEF. The FDCA-HMF-PEF supply chain is particularly noteworthy due to its potential for high-performance green packaging, although it faces cost and production challenges [6][7]. - The enzyme-based recycling of PET is highlighted as a sustainable alternative to traditional PET, especially in food packaging, achieving food-grade standards without chemical solvent residues [7][9]. Biomass Energy - The biomass energy market is expanding, particularly in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with companies like 食气生化 and Terviva actively participating. The global demand for SAF is projected to reach 20 million tons by 2030 and 358 million tons by 2050 [10]. - Major Chinese companies involved in SAF include 中石化镇海炼化 and 嘉澳新能源, aligning with international regulations for SAF adoption [10]. Bio-based Leather - The bio-based leather market is rapidly growing, with luxury brands like 爱马仕 and 巴黎世家 launching bio-based leather products. The market size is expected to grow from $107 million in 2023 to $216 million by 2028, with a CAGR of 15% [10]. - Domestic companies focusing on bio-based development include 上海璞然维生物 and 深圳朴飞生物, indicating a growing interest in sustainable materials across various applications [10].
